A national list of the top cities for bad drivers — and Miami isn’t on it?

Here’s what the list had to say about Florida:

How the analysis was done

Forbes compared the 50 most populated cities across the country using five factors. Each factor was assigned the following weight for the analysis:

▪ Number of fatal car accidents per 100,000 city residents: 24% of overall score

▪ Number of fatal car accidents involving a drunk driver per 100,000 city residents: 19% of overall score

▪ Number of fatal car accidents involving a distracted driver per 100,000 city residents: 19% of overall score

▪ Number of fatal car accidents involving speeding per 100,000 city residents: 19% of score

▪ Number of people killed in fatal crashes per 100,000 city residents: 19% of score

For each factor, Forbes said it used five-year averages between 2017 and 2021. Data was taken from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality and Injury Reporting System. City population data was sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau using 2022 figures.
